Stopping and Removing Containers

29 May 2019 Bajrang Gupta Comments Off

Stopped containers still exist until you explicitly remove them.

$ docker kill

$ docker rm

Remove all dangling volumes:

docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -qf dangling=true)

Remove all unused images: (The one with tag)

sudo docker rmi $(sudo docker images | grep ‘^’ | awk ‘{print $3}’)

docker image prune -a (This will remove all the unused images)

Remove all stopped containers:

sudo docker ps -aq --no-trunc -f status=exited | xargs sudo docker rm

Remove all dead containers:

docker rm $(docker ps --all -q -f status=dead)

$ docker system df #will show used space, similar to the unix tool df
$ docker system prune # will remove all unused data.
